Well for this years Christmas Season I upped my light count a bit. Last year I had roughly 5500 Lights running, this year I have 9100. There are 8200 Multi-Colored Incandescent lights up and around the yard. 900 Clear Incandescent Icicle lights are also installed. I started working on the frames for the windows in July already. It took me 5 days to get all the lights up and all the extension cord laid out. I should be up to about 150m of extension cord running around the yard. Also new for this year are 6 more Noel Blowmolds. The pictures don’t do it justice it looks awesome. But here are a few I just made yesterday and this morning as we got a little bit of snow. I’m hoping to get more snow as I want to enter a lighting contest so snow makes it look even nicer. Enjoy 🙂

Well it was time for me to do some more wood working. This time the project was  a nice bird house. I built it myself because I don’t like the ones you can buy as their roofs are always too short which allows the snow to cover up the food. All the material except for the little bars the birds can sit on I already had. So the house itself cost me 2$ in materials 🙂
